General Regulations

Aprons
It is essential for uniform to be protected by the wearing of an apron during Home Economics and CDT lessons.

Hair Sliders
Plain dark brown.

Ribbons/Bobbles
Navy blue or black only.

Purse Belts
These are compulsory. Any money brought to school must be kept on the person and a purse belt is safer than a pocket and may be worn in P.E.

No Responsibility
can be taken for money or valuables lost in school which has not been kept in the purse belt. Parents are strongly advised against allowing girls to bring large amounts of money to school. Purse belts are obtainable from school stockists. Year Tutors will look after property but accept no liability for it.

Jewellery
Please do not allow your daughter to wear any kind of jewellery for school. If she does it will have to be removed and it could be in danger of being lost.

Piercings
All body piercings are banned on grounds of safety. Do not have any piercings done during term time.

I must stress that we cannot take responsibility for articles which should not have been brought to school in the first place.

Hair
Long loose hair is not practical. All hair below shoulder length must be tied back and each girl is expected to adopt a style which is neat and suitable and of a natural colour.

Make-up
No make-up or nail varnish is allowed below the sixth form.

Property
All articles of clothing and other property must be clearly marked with the owner's name.

N.B.
Education Grants are available to supply articles of clothing in line with our uniform requirements for those parents who qualify for help in this way. NO OTHER ARTICLES OF CLOTHING WILL BE ACCEPTABLE

Road Safety
We do ask parents to do all they can to instil into their daughter the need to take EXTREME CARE when crossing the road, especially at the end of the school day. Added dangers are present when vehicles stop on the yellow lines on the road. These lines indicate that it is illegal to park on the road outside school, HOWEVER BRIEFLY. We ask you most respectfully to observe this rule, and to allow your daughter to alight from your car in an adjacent street.

LOSS AND DAMAGE TO PROPERTY

Sadly, we live in an age when respect for other people's property and honest dealing are too frequently missing from our corporate life. We have to face the fact that dishonesty is rife in our society and take appropriate action. In writing, I have in mind the possibility of intruders on the school premises, break-ins and vandalism from without and also, regrettably, the possibility of dishonesty within the school community itself. With these factors in mind I would draw your attention to the following points.

  1. I am asked to advise you officially that the Liverpool Education Authority and Archbishop Blanch School do not accept liability for the loss of personal property on school premises; parents and staff are advised to take out adequate insurance to cover such losses. All property should be clearly labelled.
  2. You would, I feel sure, be amazed at how much lost property accumulates in school. Many girls are exceedingly casual and careless with their property and expensive (unnamed) items of uniform, games equipment etc languish in lost property through the lack of owner concern. We advise girls to wear purse belts during P. E. lessons. The P. E. staff do accept charge of money and valuables AT THE PUPIL'S OWN RISK. Property has been lost in the past and the P. E. staff can accept no liability in this instance.
  3. The staff and I try hard to train the girls to be strictly honest in all their dealings with each other, to look after their own property with careful concern and to avoid putting temptation in the way of others. This is an area where we shall meet with much greater success if parents and school co-operate as fully as possible.
  4. Theft is a serious matter. I shall not hesitate to call upon the police if we require their help.
  5. As a school we would advise you to include an item in your household contents Insurance Policy, which covers protection for your daughter's property while she is at school or on a school trip.
